A young man driving a Toyota 4Runner rear-ended a Dodge Caravan and sideswiped a car carrier in a collision that blocked several lanes of the northbound 57 for an hour, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that the driver of the 4Runner was following his father’s Chevrolet Suburban in the No. 1 lane of the northbound 57when traffic slowed . The young man swerved into the No. 2 lane to avoid hitting his father’s Suburban. He rear-ended a Dodge Caravan, sideswiped a semi-truck car carrier, and then flipped over into the adjacent lanes.
The 4Runner driver was unharmed, but the driver of the Dodge Caravan was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries. Traffic was backed up for more than two miles before the accident was cleared.
